Rick Mercer from CBC television recently visited Algonquin Park to take part in the Black Bear tagging program,the park monitors all of the over 2,000 black Bears in the park mostly with radio transmitters.
Guests have asked us about the black bears and what are the chances of seeing them, which is rare but they are there in the bush.
